Studying vocabulary on the free plan

Vocabulary lists are easy to skim and hard to keep, so a free vocab flashcard app helps by showing each word again just before you would forget it. Upload a reading, a slide deck, or a photo of your teacher's word list, and DeckOwl builds cards from the terms it finds.

Flashcards with spaced repetition for the words you keep missing
Cards built from PDFs, DOCX, PPTX, notes, or photos of pages
Study in the browser with nothing to install
Quizzes and mind maps from the same vocabulary material

Example SAT vocabulary flashcards

Spaced repetition

Words you miss come back sooner, and words you know come back less often, so review time goes to the vocabulary you need.

Works from your material

Turn a teacher's word list, a reading passage, or a photo of a textbook page into cards instead of retyping them.

Free to start

The free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser. No credit card is needed to begin.

How it works

Add your words

Upload a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text file, or an image of your word list or reading.

Generate flashcards

DeckOwl reads the material and creates term and definition cards you can edit before studying.

Study on a schedule

Open the cards in your browser and review them as the spaced repetition schedule brings each word back.

The free plan lets you study in the browser and includes 3 generations per month. That is enough to turn a weekly word list into cards and review them on a regular schedule.

When you need more, Plus adds unlimited generations and exports to Anki and CSV. Students with a school email get 40% off.

Frequently asked questions

How many vocabulary words should I study in one session?

Many learners keep new words to a small batch, such as 10 to 20, and review older cards before adding more. Spaced repetition then brings each word back at a spacing that fits how well you remember it.

What is the best way to memorize vocabulary words?

Pair each word with a short example sentence and quiz yourself before checking the definition. Spreading reviews over several days works better than cramming the same list in one sitting.

Is the free plan enough for vocab practice?

The free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser. Exports to PDF, DOCX, Anki, and CSV are part of the paid Plus plan.

Can I export my vocab flashcards to Anki?

Yes, Anki export is included with Plus, which costs $99.90 per year or $9.99 per month. Students get 40% off with a school email.
